The AN-94 employs modern manufacturing technologies including castings, steel stampings, laser welding, powder coatings and polymer construction. In other words the "Abakan" requires the most advanced production manufacturing technologies.
The "Abakan" is very accurate at the 2 round burst mode. Furthermore the penetration power is increased by the second shot which hits almost the same place a the first. Ability to use underbarel grenade launcher and the bayonet-knife at the same time. Low recoil power.
Unlike the
AK-74 the AN-94 "Abakan" isn't simple at all in assembling, disassembling, and maintenance. Furthermore has lower reliability in unpleasant conditions and need accurate care. It is expensive and takes a long time to train soldiers to use the "Abakan", and is expensive compared to the
AK-74. Bad ergonomics, it is uncomfortable to use. It can't be fired when the buttstock is folded
